Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is uswitch.com legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns uswitch.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for uswitch.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
uSwitch is a free online and phone-based comparison service that helps UK customers compare prices and switch between gas, electricity, broadband, home phone, and personal finance products. The site uses calculators to evaluate factors like price, location, and service to recommend the best deals for individual needs.
